Chapter 326: Chapter 325: 3 vs. 1
In the Imperial Capital, at the Gong Family estate—what was once a prosperous Noble Family was now a scene of shattered tiles and rubble, with corpses strewn everywhere. The pungent stench of blood, accompanied by a strange, desolate chill, filled the air. The sky-piercing battle cries had now fallen silent.
Qin Ya’s arrival had instantly turned the tide of battle!
The Extraordinaries ceased their fighting, all staring gravely at the youth before them.
Meanwhile, the Chief Instructor of the Dark Dragon Guard and several of its high-ranking members seized the opportunity to gather by Qin Ya’s side, creating a standoff between the two factions...
"Teacher Qin, thank you for coming to our aid,"
the Chief Instructor said.
Qin Ya nodded impassively, then looked toward the high-ranking members of the Dark Dragon Guard beside him. He took out a few Elixirs and said lightly, "If you continue using this Secret Technique, no amount of Miracle Elixirs will be able to save you."
"But..."
The high-ranking Dark Dragon Guards hesitated. They had already committed to fighting to the death. If they were to cancel the Secret Technique now, their combat power would plummet. Who then would be able to stop Lu Lihuang and his men?
They trusted Qin Ya, but that didn’t mean they believed he could actually protect them while besieged by so many Extraordinaries—and three old ancestors, no less!
"The choice is yours."
After handing them the Elixirs, Qin Ya saw their hesitation. His brow twitched; he knew what they were worried about, but he didn’t press the matter...
’He had no obligation to talk a group of men bent on dying out of their decision.’
White spear in hand, his ink-black hair and white robes fluttering, Qin Ya rose into the sky. A cold light shot from his eyes, sweeping over the Extraordinaries like a biting winter wind and causing goosebumps to rise on their skin.
"Qin Ya, I was planning on taking your life in a few days. I never thought you’d deliver yourself to my doorstep today. Perfect! I’ll just wipe you all out in one fell swoop!"
Lu Lihuang sneered, his voice dripping with killing intent.
"That’s right. The Dark Dragon Guard and Qin Ya... once we kill you, the Royal Family and the Academy will have lost both their arms. They’ll have no strength to resist."
"Hmph, enough talk! Since this brat is here, Huaa Que and Nangong Wen will surely arrive soon. We should strike now!"
With that, the three ancestors exchanged a look. Their True Essence erupted, drawing in the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to form a majestic, boundless force that surged unstoppably toward Qin Ya!
"Teacher Qin, let me help you!"
The Chief Instructor of the Dark Dragon Guard and his men cried out. But just as they were about to intervene, a dozen or so Extraordinary Martial Artists from the Three Great Noble Families rushed forward to intercept them!
They now understood clearly: Qin Ya was the greatest variable in this fight!
As long as they killed Qin Ya first, destroying the Gong Family would be a certainty.
"Damn it, get out of my way!"
"You bunch of traitors, die!"
"There’s no time! Teacher Qin, get out of the way!"
Despite the shouts from all around, Qin Ya seemed not to hear. His expression remained unchanged as he calmly raised a palm, and a profound, mysterious energy suddenly erupted from him...
"And you boast of killing me? You’re merely three Half-Step Celestial Beings!"
Qin Ya was confident he could even fight a true Celestial Human Martial Artist. Lu Lihuang and his cohorts were merely Half-Step Celestial Beings. The difference was simply too vast.
Purple thunder crackled, and domineering flames blazed!
The two energies swirled around Qin Ya before gradually merging, forming a majestic Thunder-Fire Power. Its sheer might swept out in all directions, stunning everyone present!
Among the conventional Mysteries, both Fire and Thunder were renowned for their Attack Power.
Now that the two Mysteries had merged, their combined might was far greater than the sum of their parts. The resulting power was explosive, enough to obliterate most Sky-Controlling Martial Artists!
"Thunder and Fire... he actually fused them."
"This isn’t just a simple merger; it’s a fusion of the Mysteries themselves!"
"Damn it! So he didn’t just comprehend the Thunder Mysteries, but the far more terrifying Thunder-Fire Mysteries? No wonder he was able to kill an Extraordinary Martial Artist in a single strike!"
"That bastard... if he isn’t killed, he will become a dire enemy to the Venerable Lord!"
Both the Dark Dragon Guard and the members of the Three Great Noble Families were shocked by the might of this Thunder-Fire. Then, before their horrified eyes, the immense energy attack from the three ancestors violently collided with the Thunder and Fire erupting from Qin Ya!
"Oh no, fall back!"
"The energy is too powerful! Ordinary Martial Artists can’t possibly withstand it."
BOOM! A colossal explosion rang out, shaking the very air!
The torrential Energy Aftermath swept outward like a tidal wave. Nearly all the buildings in the Gong Family estate crumbled in an instant. The Chief Instructor and several high-ranking members of the Dark Dragon Guard appeared in front of Gong Cang, Gong Yu, and the other surviving guards, unleashing their full power to resist the blast. The aftershock lasted for a full five breaths...
When the last of the aftershock dissipated, the entire Gong Family estate had been reduced to ruins.
Many from the great Noble Families had died in the blast’s aftershock. The remaining Dark Dragon Guards, gathered and protected by their few Extraordinaries, had suffered little damage. However, the high-ranking members who had used the Blood Burning Secret Technique had lost all strength to continue fighting. If not for Qin Ya’s Elixirs, they likely wouldn’t have survived at all.
Gazing at the surrounding carnage, the expressions of the three ancestors became incredibly grim. Their eyes, fixed on Qin Ya, were filled with venomous fury.
Facing their demonic glares, the unscathed Qin Ya remained perfectly composed. He spoke coolly, "The ancestors of the Three Great Noble Families... is this all the strength you possess?"
"You..."
The three of them were rendered speechless, so enraged they didn’t know what to say.
Lu Lihuang’s eyes burned with resentment. With a flash, he shot toward Qin Ya. Not to be outdone, the other two followed close behind, launching a second joint attack!
The onlookers were already dumbfounded.
The three great ancestors, ganging up on a single youth!
This was utterly unprecedented in the history of the Empire.
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM...
In the short span of two breaths, countless sonic booms erupted in the air. The four figures moved so fast that the Martial Artists below couldn’t even follow their actions. This was especially true for Qin Ya. While they could at least glimpse the forms of the three ancestors, he was like a Ghostly Charm, completely unpredictable. They couldn’t see even a trace of his figure.
Even the Divine Thought of the Extraordinary Martial Artists couldn’t keep up with his speed!
Terrifying! His speed was absolutely terrifying!
’My god. Aside from those terrifying Thunder-Fire Mysteries, has Qin Ya also comprehended a speed-related Mystery? How else could he be this fast!’
"Such speed."
"Even my Divine Thought can barely keep up! If it weren’t for its predictive abilities, his spear would have run me through long ago. This is terrifying!"
The more the three ancestors fought, the more shocked they became; the more shocked they became, the more they feared!
’Three of us! Three Half-Step Celestial Beings fighting one person, and we can’t even gain the slightest advantage! In fact, it feels like Qin Ya is starting to suppress us!’
This was something they could never have imagined.
’Is he really a Sky-Controlling Martial Artist?’
’A monster like this... a demon of this caliber shouldn’t be allowed to exist in this world!!’
BOOM! A powerful shockwave erupted, sweeping out like a hurricane.
Then, a figure was sent flying backward, crashing into the ruins of the Gong Family estate. Everyone looked on to see a battered figure slowly struggle back to its feet.
It was the ancestor of the Xiao Family!
’My gods! It’s the Xiao Family’s ancestor! This Qin Ya is just too terrifying!’
